Dm
If you're keeping score then you're bound to win,
BbBbsus2
A birds eye view of a burning bridge,
Dm
You've gone through ghost towns set on pause,
BbBbsus2
Hoping the risk was worth a cause,
Dm
Oh, sound off the false alarm,
BbA
Oh, Oh
DmEmBbGm
But I'll make my own colleague from wood and from ivory,
FCDm
And reap the rewards of proximity,
DmEmBbGm
I'll assemble my equal from what I lack and require,
FCDm
And gather what's left unaccompanied,
GmDm
It smells like disaster,
FDm
It looks like a trap,
GmDm
So go by the wayside,
D#A
And never look back,
Dm
If you could spare me forty winks,
BbBbsus2
While you cry wolf and I count sheep,
Dm
What good old ghosts in Kevlar vests,
BbBbsus2
With backbones like a jellyfish,
Dm
Oh, stomp on your land again,
BbA
Oh, Oh
DmEmBbGm
But I'll make my own colleague from wood and from ivory,
FCDm
And reap the rewards of proximity,
DmEmBbGm
I'll assemble my equal from what I lack and require,
FCDm
And gather what's left unaccompanied,
GmDm
It smells like disaster,
FDm
It looks like a trap,
GmDm
So go by the wayside,
D#A
And never look back,
Dm
If you're keeping score then you're bound to win,
BbBbsus2
A ring side seat at the main event,
Dm
Oh, stomp on your land again,
BbA
Oh, Oh
GmDm
It smells like disaster,
FDm
It looks like a trap,
GmDm
So go by the wayside,
FDm
And never look back.
GmDm
It smells like disaster,
FDm
Thank God I can smell,
GmDm
So go by the wayside,
D#ADm
And never look back.
